Point goes to you, this time. I would recommend the Macallan 12, simply because the Balvenie can be used for nonscotch drinkers with ease, and always thought there are some diminishing returns on the age of Balvenie (though the Caribbean Cask is fantastic) whereas Macallan clearly becomes better, and 15 could then be used next round or the finals.

I mostly agree with you with the exception of Mac 18. I think 12 is better and 15 better still.
